I'm not sure we are that far apart on this.  UConn has been recruiting New England and NJ well in the Big East.  Are we playing any more games there, really?  Not many.  But we are playing games those kids will watch.  UConn vs Xavier is a game a kid in NJ sees, while UConn vs USF he doesn't see.  Is a Providence game key to recruiting Karaban?  No.   I don't think USC, Washington or Oregon need any help recruiting Texas.  TCU isn't going to cause their games to be seen by many Texas kids, but Oklahoma State will, because it's more likely to be on TV in more of Texas than TCU is.  But the actual location of the school, I don't think that matters much.  Playing South Florida doesn't bring the FLA eyeballs that playing UF does.

Central Florida does probably help the Big XII in Florida, because it's a good enough program and has a huge alumni base.  But a tiny religious school in Fort Worth isn't helping Cal recruit DFW very much. The Pac has a unique problem in that too many of its games simply aren't seen by anybody east of the Rockies.  Not sure what they will do to solve that.
